Course Registration

The Office of Academic Advising pre-registers all incoming first-year students for their first-semester class schedule. Your Fall course schedule is determined by the requirements of your academic major, your score on the math placement test taken before or during Summer Orientation, and liberal education courses you select. When you attend Summer Orientation in July, you will meet with an academic advisor to review your class schedule. Any changes to your Fall class schedule can be requested during Summer Orientation in July.

First year letter packets regarding scheduling your courses and math placement will be mailed out to your address as soon as your deposit is paid. Click here to upload the documents. See Below for more information about math placement.

Since registration policies vary from institution to institution, it is the student’s responsibility to become aware of the registration policies at Saint Rose including: Add/Drop/Withdraw and Pass/Fail Grading. Please note that first year students entering in their first semester will not be able to add/drop courses on their own.

Math Placement Testing

Students entering The College of Saint Rose as first-year or as transfer students are required to take a math placement test unless:

* A student enters the College with a “C-” or better in College Algebra, Pre-Calculus, or a Calculus course which carries college credit. (note: Math/Science majors/concentrators are encouraged to take the Math Placement if they are only transferring in college algebra)

* A student enters the College with a “3” or better on an Advanced Placement test in Calculus.

If you meet either of the above two requirements, you may register for any mathematics course at The College of Saint Rose for which you meet the pre-requisites. If you do not meet either of the above two requirements, you must take a math placement test.
